[Intro]
The room holds its breath
Before the floor gives way
[Verse 1]
You drew a map across my skin
Then burned the roads behind
Every promise wore a borrowed face
Every answer came designed
I watched the careful little kingdom
Collapse beneath its crown
Now all the weight you handed me
Is what will drag you down
[Pre-Chorus]
I am not the wound you named
I am not the debt you claimed
[Chorus]
I will rise with both hands open
Let the broken pieces fall
You can build your walls around me
But they will never be my home at all
When the ground gives out beneath us
I will choose what still remains
I am more than what you took from me
I am fire without the chains
[Verse 2]
You fed the fear until it learned
To speak inside my head
Made a throne from every doubt
And called surrender rest
But now the silence has a heartbeat
Pounding through the stone
I found a voice beneath the noise
And it is mine alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I am not the wound you named
I am not the debt you claimed
[Chorus]
I will rise with both hands open
Let the broken pieces fall
You can build your walls around me
But they will never be my home at all
When the ground gives out beneath us
I will choose what still remains
I am more than what you took from me
I am fire without the chains
[Breakdown]
Bury the throne
Break the design
Cut every tether
That called you mine
No more
No more
I will not kneel
You made the cage
I became the steel
[Bridge]
If I disappear tonight
It will be into open air
Not into the shape you wanted
Not into your empty prayer
I carry every scar forward
But none of them decide
The door is splitting from its hinges
And I am stepping outside
[Final Chorus]
I will rise with both hands open
Let the broken pieces fall
You can build your walls around me
But they will never be my home at all
When the ground gives out beneath us
I will choose what still remains
I am more than what you took from me
I am fire without the chains
[Outro]
No throne
No chain
No borrowed name
I remain
